Reading 1Haunted house
Reading 2Rooted skull
Reading 3Graveyard

Three dark scenes drawn as finished studies: a crooked Victorian house on a hill, a cracked skull with roots growing out of it, and a graveyard at night with crows on an iron gate. Each is drawn in graphite pencil, heavy ink hatching and clean outline. Use them for Halloween or a sketchbook of dark things. Type another subject, such as a haunted forest or a black cat, and the same three styles carry it.

  • Halloween wall art
  • a sketchbook of dark drawings
  • a reference for shading and crosshatching
  • a gift for someone who likes horror

Frequently asked questions

What is in the nine drawings?
A haunted house on a hill, a rooted skull with a moth, and a graveyard at night with crows, each in graphite pencil, ink hatching and clean outline.
Can I ask for a different subject?
Yes. The direction field takes another subject, such as a haunted forest, a black cat or a scarecrow. It is a request, so the result follows it in the same three styles.
How do the three styles differ?
Pencil is soft gray shading. Ink hatching is black lines and cross-hatching with no gray wash. Clean outline is one even black line with no shading.
Are they in color?
No. All three styles are black and gray on a plain white sheet.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
